This place is a renovated old house, with the kitchen located near the entrance and the dining area in the back. The narrow stairs leading to the second floor and the retro interior create a unique atmosphere. Traces of celebrity visits can also be found throughout the space. The water parsley used here is ‘Hanjae Minari,’ cultivated with underground water from Hwaak Mountain in Cheongdo, characterized by its tender texture without being tough.
The main dishes available are water parsley gomtang and yukhoe bibimbap. The water parsley gomtang is fragrant with a generous amount of finely chopped water parsley stems and is served with Hanwoo++ beef. The portion of added somyeon is also abundant, and the broth is more refreshing than daepah gomtang. The fermented radish kimchi served alongside is slightly sour.
Yukhoe bibimbap may be an unfamiliar combination at first, but the subtle sweet and sour taste combined with the perilla oil aroma creates an unexpected harmony between fresh yukhoe and water parsley. This dish is highly recommended by many, and the accompanying beef radish soup tastes similar to the traditional holiday soup. It is a place worth considering for a visit during your outing to Seongsu-dong.
